What time did you get up this morning? What are your plans for today?
On a typical Tuesday, I’ll get up at around 7:30 AM. Sometimes, I would stay in bed just a little longer, especially when it’s cold and dark outside. Then I’m ready, I’ll just hop out of bed and clock-in for work. It’s the beauty of working from home.
However, today isn’t a typical Tuesday. Today, I have my quarterly appointment with my dietitian at 8 AM, so I have to be up 30 minutes earlier than usual. To be honest, it’s more counseling than anything but we do talk about food, health, and exercise. After the appointment, I have to get my car checked out. Ever since the new year, it’s been having a lot of trouble starting. At first, I thought it might had been the cold but now, I’m suspecting it might be time to replace the battery. It’s never been replaced and it’s been almost 8 years, the internet told me it’s high time to get it checked out.
After all of that, it’s time to get back to work. Tuesday is an important day for accounts payable. It’s the day when I have to approve all the invoices and bills so they get paid on time.
Has 2026 been a good/better year for you so far?
I’m not feeling 2026 is any different then 2025 so far. Even though the doctor gave me a clean bill of health, in the recent weeks, my body has been incredibly stiff, especially in my knees. My back pain has also returned. I followed my doctor’s orders to relax and take it easy but it seemed like I’d made the problem worse.
Meanwhile, I’m watching the garden like a hawk to make sure I don’t have another bug infestation like last year. It’s too early to say on that front.
What is on your meal menu for today?
My breakfast may include a bowl of instant oats. I like it fast and that it’s already flavored. There maybe a banana in my lunch along with a bowl of yogurt with granola and frozen fruit – all store-bought (I’m afraid) – and dinner, well, that’s whatever my mom has in mind.
